But then you got to deal with XboxOr let Xbox build one for you for those who don't want to do it
But to those who love Xbox and wants the console experience this isn't a negative or they would have already bought a PCBut then you got to deal with Xbox
Exactly, they change plans and direction every fucking few weeks.But then you got to deal with Xbox
Change is fine if its getting better.Exactly, they change plans and direction every fucking few weeks.
Expecting people to keep buying into their future is straight up delusional.
As you can see, delusional people are not in shortageExactly, they change plans and direction every fucking few weeks.

he said "Nobody wanted to give Xbox a chance, so this is what they get with a Sony monopoly"
lol for real, such delusion.This is so fucking delusional that I don't understand how someone can even conscience a thought like this.
How many decades has Xbox been a thing in gaming and how many gamers have given them chance after chance to right the ship since they shit the bed mid-way through the Xb360 gen?
Sony will not allow the direct competitor of Gran Turismo to be on their platform.
That fat fuck will blame his dead grandma for the failures of Xbox. Lord Diabetes will never entertain the possibility that well over a decade of bad leadership, with a delusional fanbase that kept making excuses for them, with some of the most outrageously bad decisions the industry has seen, were the real problem.This is so fucking delusional that I don't understand how someone can even conscience a thought like this.

Or wait for the many clones from existing PC manufacturers that will undercut MS with similar/better hardwareOr let Xbox build one for you for those who don't want to do it
he is legit mentally unstable.This dude is fucking unhinged it feels like he flip flops on shit every other day.
it will have the opposite effect.Sony will not allow the direct competitor of Gran Turismo to be on their platform.
Okay, Jez lol. Microsoft is literally the most valuable company in the world if they wanted to actually compete against Sony, they could.
But none of them will have the power of- *checks notes*... the cloud? No, wait. The most powerful cons-... no, that's not it. Ahem, none of them will have the power of the greatest lineup in-... fuck, that's not it either. Wait! I think I got it. None of them will have the power of the best deal in- NO! NO! NO! How am I screwing this up? AHA! None of them will have the power of the supposedly undefeated Uncle Lord Phil and whatever woman with passable looks they throw out to be drooled on by people with low standards and a clearly unsuccessful sex life. BOOM! Take that Valve.Or wait for the many clones from existing PC manufacturers that will undercut MS with similar/better hardware
Dammit, you got me thereBut none of them will have the power of- *checks notes*... the cloud? No, wait. The most powerful cons-... no, that's not it.

Not even himself wanted to give Xbox a chance since he plays on PC.he said "Nobody wanted to give Xbox a chance, so this is what they get with a Sony monopoly"
If what Jez say is true then MS has truly thrown in the towel on hardware now.At this point, I really only care about my games library carrying forward to future hardware. If that library exists and I'm still able to add new releases to it, why should I care? I'm already fully bought-in to the ecosystem, little can be done to change that at this point.
I suppose though that that mentality partly is exactly what is leading to this. For every person like me there are substantially more out there that feel exactly the same except about the PlayStation ecosystem
As long as there's Windows 11 on the machines?Or wait for the many clones from existing PC manufacturers that will undercut MS with similar/better hardware

Not really, they've spent money hand over fist but they haven't figured out how to create IP that brings people in since the 360. Most of their big IP was created outside of MS and they bought it. Halo was already announced when they bought Bungie, Gears was made by Epic and going to be a multiplatform game until they paid for timed and then full exclusivity before eventually just buying the IP, lionhead created Fable before MS owned them etc. The only tentpoles they've created in house have Forza in the title and the last FMS game doesn't seem to be doing all that well. It takes more than just throwing money around, you have to have the creativity to make a product that brings people to you, MS failed in the phone business among others so having more money than everyone else isn't the answer.Okay, Jez lol. Microsoft is literally the most valuable company in the world if they wanted to actually compete against Sony, they could.
Do you think Xbox is getting better?Change is fine if its getting better.
They would buy them so valve wouldn't suck away 30% of every game sold on the Steam store in perpetuity. Something ms doesn't like doing.
he said "Nobody wanted to give Xbox a chance, so this is what they get with a Sony monopoly"
The funny thing is lacking power hasn't been a problem for them except with the Xbox One launch, the X1X fixed that issue. The problem has been with them creating compelling first party games that grow their business.Or let Xbox build one for you for those who don't want to do it
yeah goodluck with that, weirdo.
It's interesting. We're likely to see two distinct approaches to handhelds in the coming years from Microsoft and Sony, but the key difference will be Microsoft's handheld will be a portable PC while Sony's while be a Portable PlayStation.
Ironically, Microsoft's handheld will likely play PlayStation games on it, UNLESS Sony pulls their current or future games from Steam and pushes for their own PC storefront and prevents that storefront from running on Microsoft's handheld, which will be difficult to do.
Sony will probably have an advantage in Asia and Europe, but ultimately depending on price, they might be outmaneuvered. They will really have to win out on price and volume.
I take mine to my mates for lan gaming session fairly often I have to use his WiFi then have to re I put my WiFi details when I come home.I thought the same thing
How many times do people load up their Series consoles and go to places that it needs to remember multiple WiFis?
Oh I am sure it will come in handy for some but doubt it was high on the list of must haves for only traditional console usersI take mine to my mates for lan gaming session fairly often I have to use his WiFi then have to re I put my WiFi details when I come home.
I really thought valve would reattempt this first, but I guess there’s still a chance.Or let Xbox build one for you for those who don't want to do it
I enjoy paying firesale prices for hardware so they're pretty good at something.They tried to compete against Sony. They just aren't good at it.
Lets hope you don't have to defend its amazing success on launch. And its popularity speaks for itself.Is steam deck tracked?
Rog ally?
Msi claw
Gaming pcs?
Lenovo legion?
Basically is pc hardware tracked?
Probably true. Perhaps Ms would make a deal with them though for a cut of all steam store sales on thier boxes. Maybe that's why they are considering it.
They would buy them so valve wouldn't suck away 30% of every game sold on the Steam store in perpetuity. Something ms doesn't like doing.
That's dumb, as there's no upside for Valve in that type of deal. Microsoft are the ones who would need Steam on their platform to help give it value, not the other way around.
If they're going to add Steam support to the next Xbox, it'll be 100% out of Microsoft's own pocket; Valve just gets a few more systems to act as potential point-of-access to their storefront.
Buying companies? No, Microsoft loves doing that.
Problem here is, they legally would not be able to buy Valve. Steam has too large a monopoly market share in the PC space to where Microsoft (or anyone else for that matter) can't simply buy their way to that market share.
Not only would the whole regulatory system fall apart if it did happen; almost every company under the Sun would band together and challenge the buy in court. Epic, Sony, CDPR, Apple, Google, you name it.
They are going to pay MicroSoft to have their store/app on Xbox, which is something that Xbox wants?That's not true at all. If ms is on the fence on adding steam to its future consoles, sticking to 30% and ms choosing to not include it means no enhanced revenues.
On the other hand, let's say they agree to give ms 10%, and ms goes on to sell 20 million consoles, that is why valve might choose to do this. 20% >>>>>>> 0%.
As to regulation, we've seen time and time again that regulators are toothless wonders.
As to market share, ballpark steam has 85% monopoly already, (most of the rest made up by epic and smaller stores) not sure why a company that has like 1% of the remainder (ms) on thier store would suddenly be any different than steam staying with valve, it doesn't fundamentally change the market all.
Not really that much different from the competition in the gaming laptop market if you think about it. I mean......that's a reasonsable space for Microsoft to plant their hardware flag going forward in my mind. Sure as hell better than losing $200 a pop on consoles and still losing market share.
Now when I watch The Office I have it locked in my head that his name is Topher. I hope you're proud of yourself
